  "summary": "This PR removes the `m_getaddr_sent` boolean flag from `Peer` and the corresponding check in `ProcessAddrs`. The flag was intended to prevent relaying responses to `GETADDR`, but since self-announcements were separated into their own message in #34146, the first self-announcement clears the flag before the `GETADDR` response arrives, rendering the check ineffective. As a result, the initial self-announcement is now relayed immediately, while large `GETADDR` responses remain suppressed by the existing check that message size is 10 addresses or fewer.",

Removing it allows initial outbound self-announcements to relay while continuing to rely on a size check (<= 10 addresses) to block bulk address relay. Reviewers agree the flag is broken, but the PR is disputed due to a Concept NACK from taki-abedesselam concerning relay token abuse and unresolved privacy questions from ajtowns and Crypt-iQ. Review is currently stale as the author has been silent for 71 days."
